road is getting really bad,in february i went to Tulear and at night driver hit big rock hidden in pothole or better small lake in the road so his gear controls were gone we were driving next two hours in 1st gear till reaching small town,luckily they sent other vehicle,Cotisse is really good company i have seen road toward Tulear is now deteriorating quickly too,before it was quite decent what do you think new highway Tana Tamatave will be finished? president says it will be finished till 2027 but out of 260 kms i could find about 15 kms of soil being moved,no bridges yet or tarmac,they say it is 30 but google says differently and that takes them almost a year by that pace it will not be finished in next ten years specially government says they are building it with their own money meaning they got no loans for it i bet road will creep forfard with snail pace
@@passivenomads No, plan is to finish road till 2027,that 10 years was my remark.But they are not able even to maintain old road which is getting worse and worse. I watched new route on Google map and it is meandering around every hill there is making it no highway,at best motorway, obviously they plan to build it on the cheap which i could undersand tunnels and bridges cost a lot,even Montenegro has huge problems to finish their only higway
I did Tana to Tamatave road with car with driver last week, it took almost 14 hours at night do to bad road condition, it got worse than when I did it 2 and half months ago which took 24 hours do to an accident.
I went to buy my licence in Hellvile, all was good, 500,000 was the cost, i was about to pay and then wait 2 weeks for it, i asked the woman if there was a finger print meant to go on it, she said no but a thumb print is needed for the record which i was told i had to travel to Diego to give them my finger print. So i didnt bother. Wankers.
@@passivenomads They were willing to send my new licence to Hellville but wouldnt let me send my thumb print to Diego by email. Im sure all the people sitting in the class room doing the test didnt have to all go off to Diego to give their thumb print in person. 500,000 + airfare to Diego return + hotel, taxi fares and no doubt an extra cost at the licence office + all the stress they like to cause, No thanks. So anyone thinking about just buying/swapping their licence, there is the info for you.

what do you think new highway Tana Tamatave will be finished?
president says it will be finished till 2027 but out of 260 kms i could find about 15 kms of soil being moved,no bridges yet or tarmac,they say it is 30 but google says differently and that takes them almost a year
by that pace it will not be finished in next ten years specially government says they are building it with their own money meaning they got no loans for it i bet road will creep forfard with snail pace
@@danieleverywhere132 i wouldn’t hold my breath for the government to come and fix that road if it’s a 10 year plan forget it may never happen
@@passivenomads No, plan is to finish road till 2027,that 10 years was my remark.But they are not able even to maintain old road which is getting worse and worse.

Let’s hope they manage the new road construction well
